We're having a groundhog war in my neck of the woods. I've snuffed out two so far.

Deer caN HOP OVER A FENCE WITH EASE. Chucks can roll under or dig under fences just as easy. I still have some pumpkins leave left you can use as bait if thier chucks.

You can always dress up like this and hang out in the garden and wait...

Seems like one taste of your corn and whatever moved on for greener pastures? Or better corn. 
No really nice looking crop, hoping you actually get to eat some of the ears before the critter! |

I found if it goes after a brand new ear each night its a ground hog. Them guys are picky , no going after what's left of last nights.

Process of elimination,squirrels and crows don't normally feed at night and you would see deer tracks if it were a deer.
Prolly a racoon as they feed at night.
Try marshmellows and jelly for bait, they like sweets.

I would think a racoon would rip a stalk to the ground if it climbed up one to eat.....has to be something small I would think if its climbing the stalk

I would guess a squirrel, we even have red squirrels that run all over and chase the others away , they can jump
I will try the marshmellows as bait , seen that on utube , sounds good |

I picked up some stuff at Home Depot made by Havahart called Critter Ridder. It's in granule form and you sprinkle around the perimeter of the garden. Says guaranteed to work for 30 days. So far so good after one week. Nothing eaten after application.
